An electric dipole is formed by two charges $+q$ and $-q$ located in the $xy$-plane at $(0, 2) \text{ mm}$ and $(0, -2) \text{ mm}$,respectively,as shown in the figure. The electric potential at point $P(100, 100) \text{ mm}$ due to the dipole is $V_0$. The charges $+q$ and $-q$ are then moved to the points $(-1, 2) \text{ mm}$ and $(1, -2) \text{ mm}$,respectively. What is the value of the electric potential at $P$ due to the new dipole?
